Veil Nebula in PRGB

This is now my full frame version of the Veil Nebula, processed as a pseudo RGB from Halpha and OIII data (however I decided to remove green so OIII looks not so ugly...). While I had to scale down the full frame image for better display on astrobin, I provided in addition a few cutouts with original resolution.

After I could give Adam Block a hint on how to fix the Pixinsight ColorMask script (see youtoube video on the issue here and video on fixing it here), I played with the ColorMask script and further enhanced it. I made the mask mode "Linear" the default and added a slider for "Intensity" which gives another dimension to control which pixels should be selected for the mask. I used then the modified script to tweak a bit the blue and red colors in this image.

Feel free to try it out:

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
